Validation of verbal autopsy procedures for adult deaths in China (2006)
Yang, GH, Rao, C, Ma, JM, Wang, LJ, Wan, X, Dubrovsky, G, ...
Background. Vital registration of causes of death in China is incomplete with poor coverage of medical certification. Information on the leading causes of mortality will continue to rely on verbal...
Adaptive Channel Selection Through Collaborative Sensing (2006)
Yang, GH, Zheng, H, Zhao, J, Li, VOK
Proper channel selection is essential to exploit the benefits of multi-channel systems by distributing conflicting transmissions across non-interfering channels. Critical to channel selection is the...
Unequal error protection for MIMO systems with a hybrid structure (2006)
We propose a hybrid multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) architecture to implement unequal error protection (UEP) for video delivery in MIMO systems. On the transmitter side, some of the transmit...
Rao, C, Lopez, AD, Yang, GH, Begg, S, Ma, JM
Mortality statistics systems provide basic information on the levels and causes of mortality in populations. Only a third of the world's countries have complete civil registration systems that yield...
Stable controller design for linear systems (2001)
Yang, GH, Wang, JL, Soh, YC, Lam, J
The paper is concerned with the problem of suboptimal stable mixed H2/H∞ control for linear time-invariant systems. The designed controllers are required to satisfy a prescribed H ∞ performance...
Fault tolerant decentralized H∞ control for symmetric composite systems (1999)
Huang, SD, Lam, J, Yang, GH, Zhang, SY
Discusses a class of large-scale systems composed of symmetrically interconnected identical subsystems. We consider the decentralized H∞ control design problem and study the fault tolerance of the...
Balanced realizations of symmetric composite systems (1997)
In this paper, we investigate the structural properties of balanced realizations, and their truncation, of a class of systems with symmetric interconnected and identical structure. It is established...
Design of reliable controllers for symmetric composite systems:primary contingency case (1996)
Yang, GH, Wang, J, Soh, CB, Lam, J
This paper discusses the reliable controller design problem for symmetric composite systems composed of several identical subsystems. A reliable controller design procedure is presented in terms of...
Setel, PW, Sankoh, O, Rao, C, Velkoff, VA, Mathers, C, Yang, GH, ...
Registration of births, recording deaths by age, sex and cause, and calculating mortality levels and differentials are fundamental to evidence-based health policy, monitoring and evaluation. Yet few...
Evaluating national cause-of-death statistics: principles and application to the case of China
Rao, C, Lopez, AD, Yang, GH, Begg, S, Ma, JM
Mortality statistics systems provide basic information on the levels and causes of mortality in populations. Only a third of the world's countries have complete civil registration systems that yield...
Validation of verbal autopsy procedures for adult deaths in China
Yang, GH, Rao, C, Ma, JM, Wang, LJ, Wan, X, Dubrovsky, G, ...
Background. Vital registration of causes of death in China is incomplete with poor coverage of medical certification. Information on the leading causes of mortality will continue to rely on verbal...
Core verbal autopsy procedures with comparative validation results from two countries
Setel, PW, Rao, C, Hemed, Y, Whiting, DR, Yang, GH, Chandramohan, D, ...
Background Cause-specific mortality statistics remain scarce for the majority of low-income countries, where the highest disease burdens are experienced. Neither facility-based information systems...
